Abstract

Purpose

Fire smoke detection in petrochemical plant can prevent fire and ensure production safety and life safety. The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of missed detection and false detection in flame smoke detection under complex factory background.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper presents a flame smoke detection algorithm based on YOLOv5. The target regression loss function (CIoU) is used to improve the missed detection and false detection in target detection and improve the model detection performance. The improved activation function avoids gradient disappearance to maintain high real-time performance of the algorithm. Data enhancement technology is used to enhance the ability of the network to extract features and improve the accuracy of the model for small target detection.

Findings

Based on the actual situation of flame smoke, the loss function and activation function of YOLOv5 model are improved. Based on the improved YOLOv5 model, a flame smoke detection algorithm with generalization performance is established. The improved model is compared with SSD and YOLOv4-tiny. The accuracy of the improved YOLOv5 model can reach 99.5%, which achieves a more accurate detection effect on flame smoke. The improved network model is superior to the existing methods in running time and accuracy.

Originality/value

Aiming at the actual particularity of flame smoke detection, an improved flame smoke detection network model based on YOLOv5 is established. The purpose of optimizing the model is achieved by improving the loss function, and the activation function with stronger nonlinear ability is combined to avoid over-fitting of the network. This method is helpful to improve the problems of missed detection and false detection in flame smoke detection and can be further extended to pedestrian target detection and vehicle running recognition.

Abstract

Purpose

The similarity measurement of time series is an important research in time series detection, which is a basic work of time series clustering, anomaly discovery, prediction and many other data mining problems. The purpose of this paper is to design a new similarity measurement algorithm to improve the performance of the original similarity measurement algorithm. The subsequence morphological information is taken into account by the proposed algorithm, and time series is represented by a pattern, so the similarity measurement algorithm is more accurate.

Design/methodology/approach

Following some previous researches on similarity measurement, an improved method is presented. This new method combines morphological representation and dynamic time warping (DTW) technique to measure the similarities of time series. After the segmentation of time series data into segments, three parameter values of median, point number and slope are introduced into the improved distance measurement formula. The effectiveness of the morphological weighted DTW algorithm (MW-DTW) is demonstrated by the example of momentum wheel data of an aircraft attitude control system.

Findings

The improved method is insensitive to the distortion and expansion of time axis and can be used to detect the morphological changes of time series data. Simulation results confirm that this method proposed in this paper has a high accuracy of similarity measurement.

Practical implications

This improved method has been used to solve the problem of similarity measurement in time series, which is widely emerged in different fields of science and engineering, such as the field of control, measurement, monitoring, process signal processing and economic analysis.

Originality/value

In the similarity measurement of time series, the distance between sequences is often used as the only detection index. The results of similarity measurement should not be affected by the longitudinal or transverse stretching and translation changes of the sequence, so it is necessary to incorporate the morphological changes of the sequence into similarity measurement. The MW-DTW is more suitable for the actual situation. At the same time, the MW-DTW algorithm reduces the computational complexity by transforming the computational object to subsequences.

Abstract

Purpose

Abnormal changes in temperature directly affect the stability and reliability of a gyroscope. Predicting the temperature and detecting the abnormal change is great value for timely understanding of the working state of the gyroscope. Considering that the actual collected gyroscope shell temperature data have strong non-linearity and are accompanied by random noise pollution, the prediction accuracy and convergence speed of the traditional method need to be improved. The purpose of this paper is to use a predictive model with strong nonlinear mapping ability to predict the temperature of the gyroscope to improve the prediction accuracy and detect the abnormal change.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, an double hidden layer long-short term memory (LSTM) is presented to predict temperature data for the gyroscope (including single point and period prediction), and the evaluation index of the prediction effect is also proposed, and the prediction effects of shell temperature data are compared by BP network, support vector machine (SVM) and LSTM network. Using the estimated value detects the abnormal change of the gyroscope.

Findings

By combined simulation calculation with the gyroscope measured data, the effect of different network hyperparameters on shell temperature prediction of the gyroscope is analyzed, and the LSTM network can be used to predict the temperature (time series data). By comparing the performance indicators of different prediction methods, the accuracy of the shell temperature estimation by LSTM is better, which can meet the requirements of abnormal change detection. Quick and accurate diagnosis of different types of gyroscope faults (steps and drifts) can be achieved by setting reasonable data window lengths and thresholds.

Practical implications

The LSTM model is a deep neural network model with multiple non-linear mapping levels, and can abstract the input signal layer by layer and extract features to discover deeper underlying laws. The improved method has been used to solve the problem of strong non-linearity and random noise pollution in time series, and the estimated value can detect the abnormal change of the gyroscope.

Originality/value

In this paper, based on the LSTM network, an double hidden layer LSTM is presented to predict temperature data for the gyroscope (including single point and period prediction), and validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm by using shell temperature measurement data. The prediction effects of shell temperature data are compared by BP network, SVM and LSTM network. The LSTM network has the best prediction effect, and is used to predict the temperature of the gyroscope to improve the prediction accuracy and detect the abnormal change.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present research in detecting and identifying abrupt faults in controlled auto‐regressive (CAR) processes.

Design/methodology/approach

Model‐based approach is adopted in this paper. Two series of fault‐tolerant iterative estimators are set up to estimate online the coefficients in a CAR process. Based on these fault‐tolerant estimators, the detailed detecting and identifying algorithms are obtained for not only the pulse‐type faults but also the step‐type faults in CAR process.

Findings

This paper illustrates the useful information that can be obtained from residuals and that can be used to detect pulse‐type faults as well as step‐type faults. A fault‐tolerant recursive estimator for the coefficients of the CAR process is put forward. Using a simple transformation from step‐ to pulse‐type faults, all kinds of diagnosis methods to detect and identify step‐type faults can be used.

Research limitations/implications

Fault‐tolerant estimators and fault detection and identification algorithms are aimed at abrupt faults in CAR processes.

Practical implications

Most of the algorithms given in this paper can be used in many different fields, such as process monitoring, safety control and change detection, etc.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to research of abrupt faults and abrupt changes in a CAR process and emphasizes identification of magnitudes of abrupt faults. The fault‐tolerant estimators are effective not only to detect faults but also to identify safely the coefficients CAR model.

Abstract

Purpose

The effect of different service parameters on the current-carrying tribological properties of CF-Al2O3/Cu composites was investigated, and the damage behavior of the composites under different service parameters was probed. The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical basis for the application of CF-Al2O3/Cu composites.

Design/methodology/approach

The composites were fabricated by internal oxidation combined with powder metallurgy. The current-carrying tribological properties of CF-Al2O3/Cu composites were investigated on an electrical damage test system at different loads and currents.

Findings

As the load increases, the wear mechanism of the composite changes from abrasive wear to delamination wear. As the current increases, the oxidation wear and arc erosion of the composites gradually intensified. Under the service parameters of 0–25 A and 30–40 N, the composite has relatively stable current-carrying tribological properties.

Originality/value

This paper could provide a theoretical basis for the practical application of CF-Al2O3/Cu composites.

Abstract

Purpose

The current study aims at exploring China’s tourism sustainability issues as indicated in magazine articles related to China tourism. China’s environmental, socio-cultural and economic sustainability has been frequently discussed in Western media.

Design/methodology/approach

Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies were used to content analyze the textual data in one of the most popular US travel magazine – National Geographic in the past ten years (2003-2012).

Findings

This study presents the changes of topics on China tourism image conveyed by Western media in the past ten years (2013-2012). In addition, themes on China tourism sustainability issues are extracted from the China tourism image messages. The results reveal China tourism sustainability issues in two levels: sustainability issues directly related to China tourism with two dimensions of environmental sustainability and socio-cultural sustainability, and sustainability issues indirectly related to China tourism with two dimensions of economic sustainability and socio-cultural sustainability. Furthermore, the results delineate both positive and negative observations on environmental, socio-cultural and economic sustainability.

Originality/value

The findings of the study highlight challenges and successful practices of the sustainable development in China tourism destinations and the importance of incorporating tourism image in sustainable practices, as well as a need of better communication with foreign media.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to reargue the great controversies surrounding marketization, by the concept of intrinsic value and to give a panorama of China's marketization and social development during last 30 years.

Design/methodology/approach

The concept of intrinsic value is elaborated, and marketization and closely linked concepts such as price, wealth, happiness, freedom, etc. are reargued. An intrinsic value account (IVA) is constructed and the enhancement and weakening of some intrinsic values could be clearly shown. A panorama of China's marketization and social development is exhibited by IVA.

Findings

The basic point of this paper is that social development is a concept with strong but implicit ethical assumption and should be explicitly based upon intrinsic value. Without concrete definition and consensus on intrinsic value, it will face great disputes on judging human history as social development or social degradation. Market is not only an objective value‐neural system, but a subjective moral entity. China's maketization has enhanced economic value greatly, but suffered great loss by other intrinsic values.

Practical implications

IVA could be a practical instrument to evaluate social development and clarify the possible academic controversies on market. The arguments of China's marketization experience could be of benefit to other developing countries.

Social implications

This paper could encourage people, particularly policy makers, to consider their value assumptions, value priority, some basic concepts in market, and what human kind is really pursuing.

Originality/value

The paper shows that IVA could be a new instrument to better evaluate social development, similar to the National Income Account or National Happiness Account.
